Mario Schifano: career timeline

Italian · 1934–1998 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 767 of 1,408 lots (53% of works) have a usable creation date; the others are listed at the end by the decade they were sold. Each work is shown once, even when it sold more than once.
